Hope we see the full answer you expected. You did answer two of my three original questions. As far as hunting, I have had full confidence in Hornady bullets for decades.

I got mini-retired last hunting season, and am looking forward to using leverevolution Hornady bullets and Hodgdon powder in some reloading.
It definitely adds life to the old Marlin lever actions. And .35 Remington is one of my old favorites.

Can't wait to do some reloading and shooting in the spring. Anyone with a light body frame or recoil conscious, it will be a definite plus. Go Marlin .35 Remington.
